    Field residue, measured as fuel.

    Compressed agricultural and wood biomass for industrial co-firing. Tested to EN ISO methods, shipped against a certificate of analysis.

    India burns an estimated 90 million tonnes of crop residue in open fields every year. The same material, densified, runs an industrial boiler at 4,800 kcal/kg.

    Grade 01

    Non-torrefied

    Conventional white pellet — the default grade for dedicated biomass boilers.

    4,500–4,800kcal/kg
    Grade 02

    Torrefied

    Mild pyrolysis before pelletizing. Higher density, water-resistant, grinds like coal.

    5,000+kcal/kg
    Field to furnace

    Five stages, one continuous line.

    Stage 01

    It starts as waste.

    Rice husk, wood residue and agricultural stubble that would otherwise be burned in open fields. Collected across Eastern India through a network of farm-level aggregators.

    100%Agri & wood residue
    Stage 02

    Every batch is measured before it moves.

    Incoming biomass is sampled for moisture and foreign matter at the weighbridge. Material outside tolerance is rejected at intake rather than corrected downstream.

    ≤10%Moisture at intake
    Stage 03

    Dried, milled, and pressed under its own lignin.

    Chips are dried and fed to the die under pressure. No binder is added — the lignin in the biomass softens and sets, which is what holds the pellet together.

    Stage 04

    A fuel with a specification, not a grade.

    Cooled, screened and tested to EN ISO methods. Every consignment ships against a certificate of analysis rather than a nominal grade.

    Stage 05

    It burns in the boiler you already own.

    Co-fired at 5–20% alongside coal with no capital modification to the plant. The carbon released is the carbon the crop absorbed the season before.
